The Close the Gap Campaign today calls on Australian governments to accelerate action to realise the objectives of the 'National Agreement on Closing the Gap'. Alongside demonstrating the critical work of our communities and organisations, the 'Close the Gap Campaign Report 2025' sends a clear message that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, leaders, organisations, and our allies will continue to hold governments to account for the limited progress towards meeting their commitments under the National Agreement.
